DT Swiss 240, Stan's ZTR Arch EX Wheel - 27.5 Front

These super lightweight hubs, famous for their unique ratcheting system, use a stainless steel quad-bearing system offering superb performance and durability. Hand built in Switzerland with the precision of a fine Swiss watch. Includes 15mm thru bolt. Centerlock disc mount.

The time-tested Stan's Arch rim gets a face lift into the ZTR Arch EX 650b/27.5", as it grows in width from 24.4 to 24.6 and drops 20 grams in the transition. With short sidewalls, the tire is less apt to hit the rim and pinch flat as it might with standard rims. The rim design allows you to run lower tire pressure, increasing the tire's contact patch by 4mm for better traction. The curve of the rim sidewall is the same shape as the bead of the tire so they fit together like a ball and socket joint, helping to reduce the strain on the tire bead while creating a tighter seal. The ZTR Arch features a fully welded seam and can be used with a standard tire/tube combination or a tubeless tire.

Selecting a cross pattern for your wheels is critical in terms of ride quaility. Our shop personally recommends a 3 cross pattern for mountain bike wheels, because of its overall strength and durability.

Specifically designed for wider rims, Stan's No Tubes 25mm rim tape is your wingman on the trail, designed to keep your ZTR rims airtight. Can be used as a lightweight rim tape on any rim. 10 yards x 25mm (1 roll tapes 5 rims - 7 grams per application).

Description

Every set of wheels we turn out is built completely by hand to your specifications using DT spokes. From lacing and tensioning, to stress-relieving, re-tensioning and final truing, we take great pride in building the finest wheels available. Please select the drilling, spoke gauge and the spoke nipple that you desire. Tires, tubes and rimstrips are optional additions offered at a 10% savings when you buy a custom wheel.
Our wheel builders recommend using 14/15 gauge double butted spokes and alloy nipples on this front wheel. You'll reduce the rolling weight by approximately 50 grams with virtually no reduction in strength.
